Chapter 1482: Chapter 1482: The Student Surpasses the Master

...

Several days later, inside Prince Mo’s Mansion.

The silver needles, the brewed medicine, and various other items needed for the detoxification process were all laid out on the table.

"Sang’er, maybe we shouldn’t do this after all, it looks quite troublesome."

Despite the preparations being complete, Sui Zimo found himself hesitating; he didn’t want Sang’er to be hurt at all, not even in the slightest.

Previously, he had sent Jiang Zuo to inquire Sang’er about the detoxification process, but damn it, Jiang Zuo, who usually was sharp-witted, became utterly useless when it mattered most!

Although Jiang Zuo did find out that the process involved drawing the poison into Sang’er’s body, he failed to find out anything about the possible consequences!

This was enough to drive him insane.

"Brother Molian, are you joking with me?"

Hearing his words, Lin Caisang nearly laughed out of frustration.

She had prepared everything needed, and even "requested" time off from Grandpa; now he was telling her they shouldn’t proceed?

All because he found the items on her table, indicative of the troublesome nature of the detoxification process?

"When has detoxification ever been easy? It’s poison we’re dealing with. Do you prefer to keep it inside your body forever simply because detoxification is troublesome?" she asked him, her smile not quite reaching her eyes.

Sui Zimo bit his lip, his dark eyes fixed steadily on her without blinking.

He truly wanted to tell her that he didn’t want her to get hurt, that he would rather keep the poison in his own body!

But he also knew that there was no cure for the "drawn" poison; the only way to detoxify was to transfer it to Sang’er’s body and rely on the Golden Bead space to neutralize the poison within her.

No matter how much he delayed, it was merely a matter of extending the inevitable a little longer.

The longer he delayed, the more those lurking in the shadows, craving his demise, would make their moves. It would mean facing one lethal attack after another.

Taking a deep breath, his voice sounded as if he was heading to the execution grounds... no, this was even more torturous than that.

"Let’s proceed with the detoxification. Whether we do it sooner or later, it’s the same process."

It would be better to go through with the detoxification now, so that he could protect Sang’er more effectively in the future.

"That’s right, there you go."

At his nod, Lin Caisang finally smiled.

"Brother Molian, don’t you worry, you’ll just be taking a nap. It won’t hurt or itch, there’s nothing to worry about, ah."

With that, she handed him the bowl of medicine from the table, indicating it was ready for him to drink.

Sui Zimo’s hands trembled slightly as he took the bowl of medicine from her and slowly brought it to his lips, his gaze, however, fixed on Jiang Zuo, who stood beside him, looking tense.

Jiang Zuo: Your Highness, rest assured, I will take good care of the lady!

He too signaled to his lord with his eyes.

It’s just drawing out some poison. As long as it’s not fatal, what follows will be a more hopeful life, like finding a bright village after dark woods, which is a good thing.

He just didn’t understand why with his lord, it seemed like a matter of life and death.

"Jiang Zuo, what are you doing?"

Following Sui Zimo’s gaze, Lin Caisang caught sight of Jiang Zuo and the odd expression on his face.

On hearing her, Jiang Zuo shivered internally, quickly regaining his composure.

"Miss Lin, I was just assuring Prince Mo with my eyes that I will join you in detoxifying him. I will learn attentively from you and strive to surpass the teacher one day."

These two masters of his were truly after his life.
